A brand new true crime documentary filmed in Blackpool is due to air on TV next week, about the disappearance of Charlene Downes.
The show, produced for Shots TV, will revisit the mysterious case where a 14-year-old girl vanished from Blackpool, 20 years ago. Blackpool Gazette reporter, Lucinda Herbert, explores some of the issues that came to light since Charlene’s disappearance, on Nov 01, 2003. In the feature-length documentary, Lucinda attempts to find out what really could have happened to Charlene and why, after two decades, nobody has ever been brought to justice.
He will talk about some of the developments that have come about since he finished working on ‘The Murder of Charlene Downes’, in 2019. In the powerful new documentary, Karen and Bob Downes will also talk about the heartache of losing their son, Robert, to a drug overdose in 2021. Karen, 58, explains how Robert was ‘never the same’ since Charlene went missing, in 2003. “He was only twelve. He lost his teenage years, always wanting his sister back…he hit the drugs hard.
